Tanny Nadon Affiliate Grant

The Canadian Skin Patient Alliance (CSPA) has allocated funds to support upcoming outreach activities of our Affiliate Members. Eligible projects include but are not limited to websites, pamphlets, newsletters and endeavors that serve to raise visibility or awareness. The CSPA supports these initiatives as part of its mandate to raise awareness of skin diseases, conditions and traumas for all Canadians, and to assist organizations who can provide targeted support for specific needs and populations.

About Tanny Nadon: In 2016, the dermatology community mourned the loss of Tanny Nadon. She was an inaugural member of the CSPA Board of Directors and a founding member of the Alberta Society of Melanoma, which became an Affiliate Member of the CSPA. The CSPA Board is proud to name this grant in Tanny’s honour.
